yep sorted it now, sorry was my fault.. didnt know I had to edit the content of the text for it to show :-) NMC is ace.. must be one of the best apps about.. and you have given skinners loads to play with.. 5 Stars... well done mate.. many thanks.

netsuo: I figured it out. It appears autoscroll doesn't work or isn't implemented.

I was using
<largeur>222</largeur>
<hauteur>21</hauteur>
The text I was trying to fit in that "space" was larger than the box.
as soon as I changed it to a larger box for all the text to fit, it worked.
I also verified with using a really short name that would fit in my 222 box. Worked like a champ.
